Fat Girl's Recipe : Fish Tacos

My mother hired a tutor for my brother, which means another excuse to make a mirienda for the tutor.. Since there were a lot of vegetables that are almost near to spoil, I figured why not make a home made fish tacos. There was also a frozen pack of cream dory fillets.

Short Food Blog : On the Go

It was dinner time and it was really late. 

while waiting for a cab with my sister, we saw this tiny store infront of the taxi bay in Robinson's Manila called Chicken Inasal Bacolod. My sister likes green so the store's color is green which made us to try it more. so we left the line and just went there!

It was like an improved carinderia/canteen style. The table and chairs are made out of mono blocks. They have a Filipino field to it. The table setting was simple they had their condiments there, which is rare in some Philippine restaurants. The regular condiments that Filipinos love are "toyo,suka, patis" that what you get. And we ask for "kalamansi" which is a tiny version of a lemon or lime. and of course  the unending request for tissues. We love using our bare hands to eat so we can't stop asking for tissues(which by the way is so thin that one sheet is not enough! ang nipis nipis na nga konti pa ang binibigay! hayy naku!). 

Our servers were nice and friendly. Service was not bad at all. In fact every time we ask for something they immediately provide us. He even made a gesture of suggesting to try their "Inihaw na pusit" which is a surprise since they were just like a small store. They were recommending dishes already. I love that! They're cool! hahaha! Anyways we really didn't want to eat seafood at that time so we just ordered the regular ones.

We tried their promo which is like a Combo Meal, you get to choose any two viands that you like with on P300.00++ amount. There will be drinks and garlic rice. We also ordered Chopsuey for only P68.00. 

The Chicken was so juicy and tender, the flavors were impeccable, it was char-grilled into perfection. it was served hot and warm. It was really tasty. I liked it. I finish it up and licked the bones as well. 

The Sisig was "bitin", it was too oily and greasy. I like that they had bell peppers in it and green chilies and a lot of onions. The taste was good. I would order another one, (Since Ms. Fat Girl here loves sisig) but less oil perhaps. 

Chopsuey was soggy. The taste was good though. I like that it's not the usual dish that i use to eat at restaurants which is bland and doesn't taste good at all. I wanted more crunchy and crispy veggies but in this dish the veggies were soggy. But again the taste was good. My dad would've liked this dish.

And for our drinks we ordered the Sago't Gulaman P35.00 - It was too sweet for my taste we had to ask for water so that every time we sip a few we had to add small amount of water to lessen the sweetness. 

So here's another short blog! Hope you guys try this one out. It's very affordable and you can enjoy your dinner with less. Thanks for reading! 

Eat HAPPY Everyone!!

RANT BLOG 2 : RECIPE

and again.. here's another blog of undesirable circumstances..

i'm not sure which is worst, this blog or the other blog. 

so me and my friend Jessica went to Robinsons Manila, she wanted me to go with her to buy groceries and so i did. 

i haven't taken my lunch yet and i wanted to eat in a restaurant that i haven't tried for a long time or haven't tried at all. 

Jessica said that there are delicious menu from Recipe, why don't we give it a try. There was something that I really don't like about that resto for some reason. If you're outside and you take a look at that resto, it is too boring, it was too gloomy for me. 

As we got in the restaurant, they were able to greet us properly, but was not able to assist us in getting a sit. there were no smile on any of their faces. They were snobbish! I don't know if it's about how we looked at that time, or what! It was a sunday and I was too lazy to dress up and be pretty. So i wear my leggings and a normal shirt without any makeup on and it was just simple. Those crew were like staring from head to foot like non-stop. They were looking at us like they were wondering "anong ginagawa ng mga tao dito mukha namang walang pera." that's how i see it. Judging by the way YOU GUYS STARE AT US!

The place was not very clean. It still had dust at the side, there were unnecessary stuff that were put on the side which is unattractive. In every restaurant there's a bussing station or the part where the orders come out, what they have is like a very long and short height window and it was really boring and it was really a wreck.

Why are there people like that? Why are you being judgmental, don't you guys have any manners? Stereotyping is BAD~! And I hate it! you guys are not fit to be servers. 

Recipe is sort of a Filipino type of restaurant, based on the menu that they gave us most of it is Filipino dishes. Their house specialties are Kare Kare, Gising Gising, Crispy Tilapia, Lechon Kawali and many more. We just wanted to end the hunger that we were feeling at that time. 

So here where the tragedy starts..

Our server,who was unfriendly, lazy and worst server of all time, was not able to provide us any description of the food or any or those stuff. After ordering, he was not able to repeat our orders and make sure he got it correctly. HE was the worst server!

What did we have?

GisingGising - It is chopped beans with coconut milk. It was not over cooked. I really liked this dish. I would order another one. Presentation wise. Not really good. It came out in a bowl like you were eating in a canteen.

Lechon Kawali - I AM A MEAT LOVER! I LOVE MEAT! THERE'S A REASON WHY I TITLED MYSELF AS A FAT GIRL! THIS IS PROBABLY THE WORST LECHON KAWALI I'VE EVER TASTED. IT CAME WITH A SWAMP CABBAGE OR KANGKONG. THE LEAVES TASTED SAND. IT WAS LIKE SPOILED. I ATE ONE SLICE OF PORK AND THEN THERE IT WAS! THE FREAKING INSECT! NOT ONLY DID THE PLACE WAS UNCLEANED THERE WERE TINY ROACHES THAT WERE ON THE SIDE OF THE CHAIRS/ SOFAS, THERE WAS A WEIRD INSECT IN MY FOOD! AN INSECT! IT WAS VERY TINY BUT IT WAS DISGUSTING! WE ASKED ONE SERVER TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE LECHON KAWALI. AND SHE SAW IT TOO! SHE ASKED TO CHANGE THE ORDER BUT WE DECIDED TO GET A DISH. WE LET IT PASS! NOW AFTER CHANGING THE MENU, THOSE PEOPLE AT THE KITCHEN STARTED STARING AT US! LIKE "napaka arte naman nitong mga babaeng ito! nakita pa un?" IN THE FOOD INDUSTRY/BUSINESS, WE ARE TRAINED TO SERVE FOOD CLEAN! PUT THAT IN YOUR HEAD SIR! BEFORE EVEN GIVING/SERVING THE FOOD, CHECK IT! GOT THAT? GEEZ! HAVE RESPECT! NANGLALASON BA KAYO?

Crispy Tilapia - It was crunchy, crispy and delicious! good come back. I like their intake on this dish. it is very easy to eat, no need to use your hands to eat it. I'd order another one! Very good dish!

Servers were murmuring which is very rude. As soon as they see me staring at them, their mouth/lips starts to murmur. Not a good and liable servers. MAGRESIGN NA KAYO! 

If the leaders/ managers of the RECIPE Restaurants reads this blog, It would be good , so that they know what the people under them are doing in their restaurant. Recipe can do so much more. I hope this will serve as a lesson to all of them!

Make it count! LEARN and SERVE WELL!

Libyanas and Libyanos Get-together Dinner

I grew up in a small country in North Africa called Libya... I lived there for 16 years! And I miss that place...Met all my friends there.. but a few was not entirely communicating...

so...me and my childhood friends / classmates in Libya wanted to have get together dinner... and of course Me being the uber excited person that I am, offered my place to have the dinner... even offered that I'll be the one responsible for the cooking and drinking.. since I'm the cook among the barkada...

so what's for starters? i gave them a Tuna Pate Platter with Wheat Bread and also Cheese Kebabs...

this is one of my favorite appetizers... mixed tuna, mayo, spring onions, paprika, salt and pepper..

cheese and tomato... enough to wait for the main course..

They couldn't wait for the real deal...

i wasn't expecting to be that good though, it was my first time to use egg for Carbonara, so here i am i tried it and it was ok... used a real pork for it and then green peas.

Broiled Cream Dory with Cherry Tomatoes and Olives. its the best there is. it was the best thing they ever tasted. cream dory, cherry tomatoes and green olives....

and my personal favorite... Roast Chicken!

We were all full!! I was even happier when not only my friends from Libya came but also my friends here in the Philippines. I love it! After dinner we all went for a few bottles of beers and bonded more!

i missed our days in Libya.. it was funny because way back in Libya... My house was also know as the Meeting Place or the Landmark for some events or occasions. We always wanted to meet at my house. and now leaving in Manila brings back memories...

my Libyan Family with my two lovely sisters...

Jessica and Joseph with my sisters again...

CHEERS FOR THE LIBYANS!

ENJOY..
EAT HAPPY EVERYONE!
